The following list includes the most common signs and symptoms in people with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease. These features may be different from person to person. Some people may have more symptoms than others and symptoms can range from mild to severe. This list does not include every symptom or feature that has been described in this condition.

The symptoms of Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada(VKH) disease occur in different phases. In the early phase, symptoms may include:

• Headache
• Dizziness (vertigo)
• Neck stiffness
• Nausea and vomiting
• Hearing loss
• Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)

The uveitis phase occurs a few weeks after the early phase. In this phase, symptoms may include:

• Blurry vision in one or both eyes
• Inflammation of the eyes (panuveitis)
• Floating spots in the vision (floaters) that are signs of retinal detachment

The convalescent phase usually occurs a few weeks to months after the uveitis phase. In this phase, symptoms may include:

• Patches of white skin (vitiligo)
• Patches of white hair, eyelashes, and eyebrows (poliosis)
• Hair loss (alopecia)

The recurrent phase occurs in about half of the people with VKH disease. Symptoms may include:

• Clouding of the lens (cataracts)
• Build-up of pressure in the eyes (glaucoma)
• Abnormal blood vessels growth under the retina (choroidal neovascularization)

Most people with VKH disease develop symptoms in both eyes. Vision and hearing problems can improve with treatment. The skin changes and hair loss may be permanent.
